The Queen They Buried

Chapter 72

The midterm exams arrived as scheduled. This time, Aubree performed normally and ranked 48th in the grade.

After winning the bronze medal in the last math competition, several universities had extended offers to her. However, her goal was to attend Rithol University.

Technically, the bronze medal was enough for her to be guaranteed admission. Unfortunately, she had studied art for two years and only recently switched to academic subjects. On paper, she was a genius.

But other than mathematics, his performance in other places was lackluster. Rithol University even sent someone to talk to her. If she were willing to join the math department, they’d offer guaranteed admission.

But Aubree’s goal was the finance department. After a comprehensive evaluation, Rithol University didn’t offer direct admission but said that if she took the national college entrance exam, her required score could be lowered.

The Wilson family had reminded her of something. Legally, she wasn’t completely separate from them.

After entering the foster system, she’d been placed in the orphanage. When the Wilson family adopted her, only the adoption procedures were done.

Now that she was of legal age and had purchased a home in Rithol City, she planned to visit the orphanage director to inquire about becoming legally independent.

She bought some food and supplies, handed them over to the director upon arrival, and was warmly received.

At first, the director thought Aubree had come back just to visit. Seeing that she looked well–off and healthy, her eyes were filled with relief. “Looks like you’re doing well after returning to your family. I was worried you might not be treated well since you were an adopted daughter,” the director said.

The director was a good person.

Though Aubree’s time at the orphanage wasn’t the most comfortable, it had been a happy period. Before she left, the director had warned her kindly to be obedient in her new home, but also to know when to protect herself and to recognize whether people were truly family.

Aubree’s eyes stung. It was clear that even back then, this kindhearted elderly woman had worried about what her life would be like after being taken away by the Wilson family.

She said, “Director, I’ve already left the Wilson family. I made some money on my own and came back to see you.”

“Oh, is that so…” The director seemed momentarily stunned, then held Aubree’s hand. “That’s okay. This place will always be your home. If you ever feel wronged out there, come back home.”

“Yeah.” Aubree’s voice was hoarse, and she held back her tears. “By the way, I want to become legally independent. I need to terminate any remaining guardianship records.”
